AIM: To investigate the effect of baicalin on the radiosensitization of HeLa cells .METHODS:The cell activity was determined by MTT assay .The radiosensitivity of HeLa cells was detected by colony formation assay . The cell cycle was analyzed by flow cytometry .The protein levels of Akt , p-Akt, Bad and p-Bad were examined by Western blot.RESULTS:The cell growth of the HeLa cells was inhibited by baicalin dose-dependently and IC 50 was 43.65 mg/L. The results of colony formation assay showed that combination of 8 mg/L baicalin and radiotherapy further improved survival curve and decreased the value of D0 and Dq, as compared with radiotherapy alone (P<0.05).Furthermore, baicalin en-hanced the effect of radiotherapy on cell cycle , as evidenced by the increase in cell percentage in G 2/M phase (P<0.05). Additionally, after incubation with baicalin , radiotherapy-induced phosphorylation of Akt and Bad were further augmented (P<0.05).CONCLUSION:Baicalin augments radiosensitivity of HeLa cells through the inhibition of cell cycle transi -tion and activation of PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.

Objective To estimate the clinical effect of cutting titanium inlay crown in the restoration of short cracked molar. Methods Sixty-four short coronal cracked teeth were randomly divided into group A and group B. Group A were treated by crown. Group B were treated by titanium inlay crown. The curative effect was evaluated every year and lasted 2 years. Results One year after the repair, there was no significant difference in the achievement ratio between two groups (93.8%vs 100%,χ2=2.064, P>0.05). Two years after the repair, the success rate was significantly higher in group B (96.9%) than that of group A (68.8%,χ2=8.892, P<0.01). The failed cases of group A were treated by cutting titanium inlay crown, showing good retention. Conclusion The retention of a short cracked molar can be improved by means of cutting titanium inlay crowns.

Objective:To obesrve the influence of DNA-PKcs in the chemoresistance of multi-drug resistance malignant glioma cells,and to explore its molecuIar mechanism in chemoresistance.Methods:siRNA was used to construct the DNA-PKcs knockdown human glioma U251 cell line;Western blotting method was used to detect the expressions of DNA-PKcs in U251 cells (U251 cells), doxorubicin (ADM)resistant U251 cells (U251/ADM cells),DNA-PKcs knockdown and ADM resistant U251 cells (U251/ADM/siDNA-PKcs cells).CCK8 method was used to detect the cell proliferation activity in three groups;Western blotting method was used to detect the expressions of MDR1, pNF-κB/p6, total Akt, pAkt/T308 and pAKT/S473 in the cells in three groups. Results:The expression level of DNA-PKcs in U251/ADM cells was significantly higher than those in U251 cells and U251/ADM/siDNA-PKcs cells (P < 0.01 ).The IC50 values of doxorubicin (ADM),paclitaxel (PTX), gemcitabine (GEM)in U251/ADM/siDNA-PKcs cells were significantly lower than that in U251/ADM cells (P <0.05);the expression levels of pAKT/S473,pNF-κB/p65,and MDR1 in U251/ADM/siDNA-PKcs cells were significantly lower than those in U251/ADM cells (P <0.01),but the total Akt and pAkt/T308 had no significant differences between two groups (P >0.05).Conclusion:DNA-PKcs can significantly enhance the chemoresistance of multi-drug resistance malignant glioma cells,the underlying mechanism is related to up-regulation of pAKT/S473,pNF-κB/p65 and MDR1 expressions.

Objective To compare the clinical application value between Leep knife operation and Vaginal ligation operation in submucous uterine myoma during the basic-level hospital.Methods According to digital table method,63 cases with submucous uterine myomas were randomly divided into the trial group and control group,33 cases in the trial group used the Leep knife,30 cases in the control group used vaginal ligation operation.Results The amounts of the trial group such as operation time,complications bleeding,operation stump bleeding rate and menstrual disorder improvement rate were (8 ± 3)min,(7 ± 3)mL,0.0％,91.0％,while the amounts of the control group were (10 ± 3) min,(10 ± 4) mL,13.3％,70.0％.The difference was statistically significant (t =2.642,3.387,x2 =4.698,4.455,all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Leep knife operation is better than Vaginal ligation operation,because it has shorter operation time,less complications bleeding,lower operation stump bleeding rate and higher menstrual disorder improvement rate.It is worthy of applying in the basic-level hospital.

According to Standard Protocol Items: Recommendations for Interventional Trials, Consolidated Standard of Reporting Trials 2010 Statement (CONSORT), CONSORT Extension for Non-Pharmacologic Treatment Interventions (CONSORT for NPT) and Good Clinical Practice, the detailed requirements for protocol writing, reporting, and practicing of clinical trial were classified and summarized in this article. By combining the practical situation of clinical trial of external treatment of TCM such as tuina, the requirernents for clinical trial protocol writing of external treatment of TCM were analyzed and acquired which could improve the quality of clinical trial protocol of external treatment of TCM, thus to provide references for standardized execution of TMC clinical trial and reports of research results.

Many specific therapeutic antibody drugs have been developed for different indications. In drug development, it has been found that the antibody isotype framework can not only affect the physical and chemical properties of therapeutic antibodies, but also influence the activity and therapeutic effect. As a result, IgG isotype selection should be considered carefully in antibody drug development strategies. Because of the unique biological characteristics, IgG4 isotype has been used in some therapeutic antibodies for which effector functions are not desired. In order to provide new ideas for the development of antibody drugs, the research and application progress of IgG4 isotype in therapeutic antibody drug development has been reviewed.

Objective To study the imaging of central pentine myelinolysis (CPM) and extrapontine myelinolysis(EPM) after liver transplantation and value of DWI. Methods Eight patients after liver transplantation with CPM and EPM were included in our study, 4 cases of female and 4 cases of male.MR examinations were performed on Philips 1.5 T MRI system. The sequences included SE T1 WI, FSE T2Wl,axial SE-EPI DWI,TR/TE 6225/118.7 ms, ETL 128, FLIP 90°, thickness 5 nun, matrix 128 ×128,b=1000 mm2/s. Results Four of B type hepatitis and cirrhosis and 1 case combined with hepatic carcinoma, 1 of C type hepatitis with cirrhosis from schistosome,2 of C type hepatitis and cirrhosis, 1 of cholangiogenic cirrhosis. MR demonstrated prolongation of T1 and T2 with a shape of butterfly, round or quadrangle on the brain stem sparing of the corticospinal tract and peripontine tissue. The lesion manifested high signal intensity both on DWI and ADC map indicating T2 effect and vasogenic edema. Follow up MR in 2 cases 2 months later showed more prolongation of T1 and T2 than the first time and the lesion manifested iso-intensity signal on DWI and high signal intensity on ADC map suggesting increased diffusivity. Abnormal signal intensities were detected on the bilateral caudate head, globus pallidus, putamen and cerebral cortex in 3 cases. Conclusion CPM should be considered when prolongation of T1 and T2 with a shape of butterfly, round or quadrangle on the brain stem, sparing of the corticospinal tract and peripontine tissue was detected for patients of pest-transplantation. When combined with other area abnormality, EPM and CPM should be considered. DWI can early and sensitively show the lesion.

This study is to observe the protection of gross saponins of Tribulus terrestris (GSTT) on cardiocytes impaired by adriamycin (ADR) and approach its mechanism of action. Cardiocytes of neonate rat were cultivated for 72 hours and divided into normal control group, model (ADR 2 mg?L-1) group, and GSTT (100, 30, and 10 mg?L-1) groups. MTT colorimetric method was deployed to detect cardiocyte survival rate, activities of CK, LDH, AST, SOD, MDA and NO were detected, and apoptosis was detected with flow cytometry. Effect of GSTT on caspase-3 was detected with Western blotting. Compared with control group, contents of CK, LDH, AST, MDA and NO were increased, and activity of SOD was reduced (P
